Re: [TeX-Music] Hi all
It seems the non-spacing chords at line 718 create a strange environent:
\Notes\zw{CG}\zq{JNQ}\nextstaff\roff{\zq{dg}}\zq{egik}\en
Say:
\stemlength0%
\Notes\zw{CG}\zq{JN}\qu Q\nextstaff\roff{\zq{dg}}\zq{egi}\qu k\en
instead. Seems MusiXTeX is unhappy if an extract doesn't use any portion
of stem at all. Don't ask me why!
And I guess line 710 you mean 'insieme'.

Re: [TeX-Music] Hi all: long stem
Hello All,
I can compile e.g. the example below, as well as adagio.tex and a
number of other complex examples from WIMA, but cannot compile the
simple example in section 1.2 of the Musixtex manual, v. T114 p. 3
(after adding \input musixtex at the beginning).
It won't recognize the \begin{music} command. If I comment this
command out, it won't recognize the \setstaffs command.
Seems like a very basic error and that something major is missing,
although I downloaded all the recommended files.
[I am trying to install the system on an iMac, Mac OS X v. 10.5.7 (the
latest), compiling with Plain Tex in Texshop (v. 2.26, also the
latest) and a rank beginner with musixtex.]
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks, Graham Norton.
PS Is a file of the examples of this manual available online (to avoid
having to type each example in again when working through them)?

AFAIK again, the LaTeX source of this manual is offered when you install the MusiXTeX distribution (thanks to Don).

[TeX-Music] TeX, Latex and iMac
Dear All,
Thanks for your replies and hints. Sincere apologies for the length of
this reply.
A. The good news is that TexMozartp3.tex (see attached) did compile
and generate the same output as in the manual (except for the bar
numbers). For this to work, the input file and the directory musixtex
MUST be at the same level in the parent directory. This is crucial.
B. I did mean page 3 of the printed manual, not page iii. The example
is as follows:
\begin{music}
\parindent10mm
\setname1{Piano}
\setstaffs12
\generalmeter{\meterfrac44}
\startextract
\Notes\ibu0f0\qb0{cge}\tbu0\qb0g|\hl j\en
\Notes\ibu0f0\qb0{cge}\tbu0\qb0g|\ql l\sk\ql n\en
\bar
\Notes\ibu0f0\qb0{dgf}|\qlp i\en
\notes\tbu0\qb0g|\ibbl1j3\qb1j\tbl1\qb1k\en
\Notes\ibu0f0\qb0{cge}\tbu0\qb0g|\hl j\en
\endextract
\end{music}
which I can now cut from doc/musixdoc.tex. Thanks for this hint.
C. I note that doc/musixdoc.tex (which I cannot latex) differs from
the pdf file of the manual currently available from WIMA. I'd like to
suggest that the pdf version of musixdoc.tex be put on WIMA,
replacing the current one.
On line 8048 of musixdoc.tex, we read:
When producing this examples, care should be taken about the fact
that several given files are supposed to be included (by means of
\keyindex{input}) in other files. Thus the only good files to be
directly
\TeX-ed are those which begin with \verb|\input musixtex| or
\verb|% \input musixtex|. This latter command is often commented out
so that
the examples can be run either using a \musixtex\ format including {\tt
musixcpt.tex} and {\tt musixsty.tex} --- namely the format generated
by {\tt
musixtex.ins} --- or using a \musictex\ format including {\tt
musictrp.tex},
{\tt musicvbm.tex} and {\tt musicsty.tex} --- namely the format
generated by
{\tt musixtex.ins}.
It would be very useful if this statement (or a shortened version of
it) were included as a footnote before the first examples in the
manual . And 'begin{music}' \'end \{music} ' should be removed from
the example! ... it is a bit confusing here for the reader, as Tex is
mentioned repeatedly as the preferred engine, and in Chapter 2,
opening paragraph, we are reminded that \input musixtex must be
included, again suggesting Tex.
D. Including
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{musixtex}
\end{document}
around the example was a good suggestion. For this to work, my input
Mozartp3.tex and the directory musixtex have to be in the same parent
directory (i.e. at the same level).
Unfortunately it still won't complete, complaining:
!I can't find 'Mozartp3.aux,'
\enddocument
and hangs on
l. 17 \end{document}
with no pdf file generated. Definite progress, but this is strange as
there are no e.g section references to generate such a file(??)
Seems to be a Latex problem. Oddly enough, Tex does not complain
about a missing .aux file, and does not generate one from e.g.
adagio.tex.
Thanks again for your assistance.

Dear Don,
Thanks for your reply.

Not on my PC. TeXMozartp3.tex goes through just fine, straight out
of the
box, without any musixtex directory at the same level as the source. I
believe all that is required is to have a properly set up
installation of
TeX and MusiXTeX, with a path variable set to allow execution of all
the
necessary binaries, and with musixtex.tex and all the musixtex fonts
in
folders that TeX can find. In MiKTeX, the latter is accomplished by
placing
the files in the designated user input folder or a subfolders of
that, and
then refreshing the filename database.
I tried putting TexMozartp3.tex in Downloads, a complely different
directory which does not contain any musixtex software. (I moved all
my WIMA downloads elsewhere in a directory Documents/music).
Then I double-clicked on it to bring up Texshop (downloaded from CTAN)
and it compiled correctly in Tex . Perhaps it was just the initial
run that needed them in the same position. No need to modify any path
names or a database.
C. I note that doc/musixdoc.tex (which I cannot latex)
When I first tried to latex it (not tex; it's a LaTeX file), latex
complained that it couldn't find backgrnd.sty. So I grabbed that
file from
the musixtex.zip and put it in my user tex input folder, refreshed the
filename database, and the file compiles just fine.
No complaints about not being able to find backgrnd.sty ; it stops with
!no room for a new count

Unfortunately the log file is different and I cannot past the console
errors.
differs from the
pdf file of the manual currently available from WIMA. I'd like to
suggest that the pdf version of musixdoc.tex be put on WIMA,

There are two versions of the manual on WIMA. I believe that the
directly
linked copy of version T.113, at
http://www.icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/musixdoc.pdf
is the same as the one from musixdoc.tex in the musixtex.zip. If
there are
any differences, please let me know exactly where they are.
I have not compared them in detail, but Chapter {Examples} in
musixdoc.tex is quite different from \Chapter{MusixTex examples} of
the pdf of T114 that I downloaded.
The other one
that is directly linked is version T.114, at
http://www.icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/mxdoc110d.pdf
This is an extensively edited version. I am not going to remove it,
because
I spent a long time creating it, and I believe it's a substantial
improvement over to older version. Some day I or some other
volunteer may
create a new musixtex.zip; and when and if that happens, the most
recent
version of the manual will be included.
On line 8048 of musixdoc.tex, we read:

Where to begin? I removed this comment from version T.114 of the
manual. It
contains lots of references to obsolete components of the MusiXTeX
system.
The corresponding text in T.114 is The file musixdoc.tex, the
source for
this manual, contains many useful examples. In the
PDF, many examples are accompanied by a display of the code that
produced
them, while for a
few only an image of the extract is included in the PDF and you'll
have to
look in musixdoc.tex
to see the coding. I admit that I didn't go into the complex
distinctions
between TeX and LaTeX at this point. But the idea is that in most
cases, one
can copy the source from the PDF, surround it with the necessary
boilerplate
including setting up the page size,

Then you've left 'floating' \zq's at the l.h. and MusiXTeX attemps to link
them to something. Also adapt the l.h. chord like the r.h. one.
I can't reproduce the problem with Don's \nq method.
If my guess is wrong please provide a very short TeX example that has the
problem.
